I just checked that it isn't possible to cheat by using an image search - tee-hee - Google thinks its laminate flooring. So here is the whole thing:

Do you folk need more clues? OK...
The fruit that this is used for often features in Middle Eastern cookery.

Pomegranate, but I can't imagine how it's used?
Correct!
Do you get pomegranates in Thailand?
I was seriously sceptical about whether this would work. But it was incredibly cheap so I thought I'd try it. If you have ever tried seeding pomegranates then you will know what a messy and tedious job it can be. I read somewhere that it was important to slip a plastic bag (or something else pliable) over the top of the halves of pomegranate in order to avoid splatter. Good advice.
It took me all of 4 minutes to deseed this pomegranate. You need a rolling pin or pestle to bang it with.
Top and tail the fruit and cut in half across diameter.
Place on one half of fruit (cut diameter side down) on top of the deseeder and cover in a small plastic bag.
Hold down the edges of the plastic bag and bash the pomegranate (merrily) with the rolling pin - on top and round the sides. Mind your fingers.
Hey presto! A bowl full of seeds. And what is more, no juice is wasted. There may be a bit of pith in the seeds but its easily picked out.

Yes, we get very small ones (about the size of kaffir) which grow locally and some superstores occasionally carry imported ones (from Spain I think) but they are very expensive.

I've always submerged them in water and popped out the seeds.
